My name is Raquel and I am a single mom to 3. If you know me, you know my kids are my entire world and I would quite literally walk through fire for my babies. Well, that is exactly what I am going to be doing in the coming months. Recently false accusations were made against me and a judgement for an emergency order was placed against me by my ex. I am now awaiting a hearing date to present the evidence that lies were made so I can get the emergency order dropped. I have not been able to see my daughters in 2 weeks while I waited to be advised on my next steps by an attorney, I can't afford. My heart is broken and my home has been too quiet... Aside from battling this emergency order, in the coming months I will also be fighting a custody battle against my ex after he put in a motion to get full custody of our two daughters and requesting I only have supervised visits with them. We currently have 50/50 everything and have since we separated 6 years ago. Due to recent events, he is trying to make it so I pay for his mistakes he made in his relationships with others. I hesitated making this but after my family and friends encouraged me to, I decided it wouldn't hurt. Some of you may know my past with my younger daughters dad and some of you may know bits and pieces or nothing at all but I wouldn't be here asking for help if I didn't need it. I was told by my ex that his grandparents are providing him a "open checkbook" and are willing to "ship an attoreny from another state". His family is providing him all of the financial backing and I fear the financial burden this is going to cause me. I won't go into detail here in regards to the nitty gritty stuff and can't share a whole lot when it comes to that but every penny helps fight a 8 year long fight that I have feared for years. I have stayed quiet but I will no longer have my name drug through the mud and be victim shamed. I am asking for your help making my voice be heard while I stand up for what is right for my girls. I work a full time job and I am currently trying to get my real estate license so I can grow in my career and this has made an obvious set back. I have put studying on the back burner when I was so close to being able to take my state test and the stress of this has consumed me. If you read this far, thank you! If you can't donate, please share. This is going to be a long and brutal next few months. Please also send your prayers that my girls stay safe and happy. Thank you!
